The cumulonimbus clouds in October have not dispersed from everyone's heads. The heavy rain has been falling non-stop, and a mildewy smell can be vaguely smelled in the corners of the castle.
For the upcoming Halloween dinner, Hagrid had to spend a lot of time saving the big soaked pumpkins in the pumpkin patch to prevent them from being soaked by the rain.
The weather rarely cleared up on the weekend, and Albert went to Hagrid's hunting lodge to have afternoon tea, and listened to the other party casually talk about Professor Kettlebo's hospitalization."
"When did it happen?" Albert asked, rubbing his teeth.
"Yesterday." Hagrid sighed softly, "Professor Kettlebo bought a house in Hogsmeade, and planned to settle there to accompany his little cuties. When he was sorting out the items, he was sniffed by a naughty dog.
I stumbled a bit, but fortunately the house elf who brought the food found it in time, and is still recovering in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies."
"Professor Kettlebo may have to retire early." Albert was not surprised. The professor was not in good health. "If you want to apply for the job of Professor of Care of Magical Creatures, you should think about what you want to teach everyone in advance.
, never underestimate the risks of getting along with magical creatures. Students are not as thick-skinned as you, and they cannot withstand the hardship."
Hagrid looked at Albert in surprise. The other person said very bluntly that he would fill Professor Kettlebo's vacancy and become the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures at Hogwarts.
"You can take the time to visit Professor Kettlebo and ask him for teaching skills." Albert reminded: "Don't bring any weird things into the classroom, especially those that may harm students.
magical creatures."
Albert doubted whether his words would be effective, but as a friend he should still remind him.
When he left the hunting lodge, Hagrid was still in a daze, seeming to be thinking about what Albert had just said.
There is no way, Albert's words are very accurate, maybe he can really apply for the professor of Care of Magical Creatures?
However, Hagrid felt that it was necessary to test Mrs. Grapeland's tone to see if she wanted to apply for the position of Professor of Care of Magical Creatures.
On the way back to the castle, Albert met Ginny Weasley. The red-haired girl walking towards him gave him an inexplicable sense of weirdness. Albert raised his head and met her eyes, and found that Ginny
·Weasley's eyes seemed to lose the agility that a child should have, causing his pupils to dilate slightly.
"Is he controlled by Voldemort?" After Albert walked away, he looked back at Ginny's back and hesitated briefly.
If Ginny Weasley is brought down now, he will definitely be able to find Tom Riddle's diary from him. As long as the Horcrux is destroyed, there will be no further attacks. But those panel tasks of his are extremely
It's possible that everything would be ruined, and it wouldn't be easy to explain this to Dumbledore.
Albert never underestimated Dumbledore, and his flaws would definitely be discovered.
Once can be a coincidence, but twice is worthy of Dumbledore's careful consideration.
"Forget it, just be careful and let other things take their own course." Albert raised his hand to push the frame of the mirror and continued walking towards the castle.
It's actually not difficult to guess what Ginny Weasley, or rather Tom Riddle, wants to do.
The crowing of the rooster is fatal to the basilisk.
Tom Riddle is naturally aware of this, so he would never want a rooster around the castle.
"Should I keep a rooster as a pet?" Albert said to himself. This idea was quickly forgotten by him. It was too troublesome to raise a rooster. He thought that getting one would make a rooster.
The squealing toy is a good choice, but I don't know if it will be useful against the basilisk.
"The 'Screaming Chicken' in my previous life was very popular." After careful consideration, Albert thought that the "Screaming Chicken" was a good selling point. It didn't have to scream, it could be other sounds, and it could be used in the future.
Products for joke props.
As for selling the 'Screaming Chicken' as an amulet after the attack, Albert never thought about it. After all, it was easy to be targeted, and it was estimated that no one would buy that thing as an amulet.
After Albert walked away, Tom Riddle turned his head and looked at Albert's leaving back. For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
Tom didn't realize at all that he had almost lost his temper just now. If Albert had just violently subdued Ginny, he would have been able to arrange his Horcrux in a matter of minutes.
Tom had heard Ginny mention this Muggle wizard named Albert Anderson. He was said to be a genius and had won the International Wizarding Chess Championship not long ago.
Of course, Albert Anderson is of no importance to Tom. He cares more about Harry Potter and wants to know how the young Harry defeated Voldemort, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
For Albert, even if the other person is a famous genius in Hogwarts school.
After all, Tom Riddle had been a genius in school before, and he really didn't have much interest in so-called geniuses. It would be a good choice to treat him as prey.
Such a genius being killed by a basilisk would definitely cause a sensation.
Suddenly I am looking forward to it!
After discovering that Hagrid was at home, Tom did not attack the rooster in the chicken coop. He walked around the hunting lodge and returned directly to the castle.
When Albert returned to the castle, he noticed that he had a new task. Before he checked the task, he saw Hermione trotting towards this side in a hurry, panting and telling him about the last one.
thing.
Hermione mentioned the establishment of the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club and invited Lockhart as the instructor, which won the support of a group of Lockhart fans. However, this event was not organized by her, but by an admirer of Lockhart.
The upperclassmen formed a club called "The Worshipful Gilderoy Lockhart Club".
Hermione soon discovered that this club was different from what she had imagined, so she wanted to invite Albert to form their own Defense Against the Dark Arts Club.
"Sorry, I'm afraid not." Albert shook his head and refused.
He is very busy. He has twelve classes to take and several clubs to join. He has no extra time to join the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club.
However, Albert still gave Hermione some advice and asked her to invite Harry Potter to join the club.
"Is this really okay?"
"Have you not noticed that Professor Lockhart pays special attention to Harry Potter?" Albert reminded: "If you want to succeed, you need to bring Harry Potter into the club, because Lockhart is only interested in Harry Potter."
Harry Potter is interested, and believe me, as long as Harry Potter is in the Defense Against the Dark Arts Club, Lockhart will definitely be willing to come over and guide you."
"But why is Professor Lockhart interested in Harry?" Hermione was very puzzled by this.
"I don't know, maybe Lockhart is interested in Harry defeating the mysterious man!" Albert casually found an excuse to deal with Hermione. He knew very well that a club whose starting point was to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts would not be good to Lockhart.
It's said to have no appeal at all.
Only Harry can attract Lockhart.
Although Hermione still didn't understand the meaning of Albert's words, she knew that Harry simply avoided Lockhart, and there was no way he would be willing to join the "Defense Against the Dark Arts Club" unless... Harry
